Bigger question is who is number 1 and 2.
I hope Life. Anyways, I'm beginning to agree more and more with the list, only thing off for me is Rain's position and the lack of Parting in a top 15.


Parting and sOs not being on when both of them owned Starcraft 2 for periods of time is just incorrect


When did sOs own SC2 for more than a weekend?


Late 2013 to early 2014 sOs was the best player in the world, hands down, no competition then he fell off the individual league map for a while.
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

when did any player own sc2 for more than a weekend?

Many times?

no?


Mvp through the middle of 2011, Life between October 2012 and March 2013, Innovation between ~April and ~August 2013 are the ones that stand out to me. Arguments to be made for MC, Taeja, DRG and Zest.


I don't see Taeja on that list.
moo...for DRG

5. MMA
4. MC
3. TaeJa
2. Mvp
1. Life


And we have top 10 of:
10. Rain
9. Innovation
8. Zest
7. Nestea
6. MMA
5. Polt
4. MC
3. Taeja
1/2. Life/Mvp without any doubt.

Damn I was close, but high underestimation of Polt failed me. Still happy that i was correct about the abscence of Parting in this list.

MC made it in Korea and won more money overall. I just can't see how he can be behind Taeja, who was never that special in proleague or GSL.

It would be nice if anyone complaining about TaeJa's positioning actually read the article. There are a good 3000 words with reasoning why he placed 3rd, so if you're going to disagree, it might help your case more if you put a tiny bit of effort it

Having read all of it, I say well done stuchiu. Can't bring myself to disagree with any of this.

After the whos number 1, it all comes down to personal opinion, theres not much of a difference between 10th and 3rd, everyone has very similar skills at the points in their careers we consider them their best

I'd argue that if stuchiu based it on skill alone the list would look very different and that greatest doesn't equal best.

I guessed top 5 as
Polt
MC
Taeja
Mvp
Life

So close to being right but after I guessed it Zealously said that he thought the top was wrong so in the end Life is probably second.

If skill was all there is to SC2, MarineKing and INno would be near the top, and Polt would be way lower. Just because you have skill doesn't guarantee results

Read the friggin article before you complain and then maybe you understand. Maybe you'll still disagree, but saying TaeJa at 3 is a joke? That's the real joke.

Dear was the best player in late 2013 Blizzcon not included. Then sOs got 2nd at Red Bull to Parting. Then he made the ro8 of GSL season 1. Imo that doesn't make him the best player in the world hands down

Well if skill was all there was to this list, herO and PartinG would for sure be on it and pretty high up.

The biggest thing for me is the lack of Parting in the top 15. He's been in 14-15 code S. He's won WCS, a redbull thing, WCG , HSC been in a code S final , two hotsix cup final and showed , in my opinion , when he is on top of his game the best protoss play ever. Almost no one could stop his soultrain, was one of the very first to play with templar spreaded out around the map.
Yes this isn't Life's level of performance but it is definitly top 15 in my eyes.

But I enjoyed reading this and think it is some really good work! Thanks
It's good to be back
